🌸 SIZE 16 SPRING CAPSULE WARDROBE — JUST $45! 🌸

How many outfits can you make for $45? 👀

We had a little fun in store today and put together this gorgeous Size 16 capsule wardrobe using op-shopped pieces — and look at how beautifully everything mixes and matches! 😍

👖 Jeans or a floaty floral skirt
🌸 Two gorgeous patterned tops
🧶 Sage green or soft blush layers
✨ Multiple outfit combinations from just a handful of pieces

And the whole lot comes to only $45! 🤯

That’s what we love about op shopping — you don’t need a huge budget (or a huge wardrobe!) to create outfits you love. Mix it, match it, make it yours. 💚

And even better? Your purchases help support animals in need. 🐾

📍 Pop into SPCA Op Shop Masterton 87 Chapel Street and have a treasure hunt — these are all one-offs, so once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Which combination would you wear? 🌸🌿👖

Recently, our Wellington Inspectorate team attended a call about a tethered dog. When they attended, they found Shy tied up due to a lack of fencing at her family's property; there were signs that she was being tethered for prolonged periods, and wasn't getting enough exercise.

Shy’s owners had taken her on about 6 weeks prior after a friend told them she was too ‘shy and timid’ to be a hunting dog. Having recently immigrated to New Zealand, the family were unaware of our animal welfare laws and regulations – but once our Inspectors educated them on the subject, they realised they couldn't provide the standard of care Shy needed.

Our Inspectors offered to take Shy into SPCA's care, which her owners agreed to. As her namesake suggested, Shy was initially very timid and nervous, but she's since come out of her shell!

“We go for walks every day and she absolutely loves sniffing; she has a great nose," her foster parents tell us. "She met a dog today and they played so well. She does great in the car and has even started jumping in on her own!" As the second and third photos show, she's clearly loving life 🥰

Our Inspectors work hard every day to create better lives for New Zealand's animals. They know that not every case of neglect comes from a malicious place; sometimes, sharing knowledge and education is the best way to make positive change. We're grateful to Shy's previous owners for realising she needed more than they could give, and we're excited for her future!

Did you see our now-famous Shorna the lamb feature on Seven Sharp on Friday night? 🐑🤩

Shorna had a close shave with a train, and wound up in the care of our Masterton Centre. While recovering, she's been hanging out with another lamb, Aggie - who you may have spotted showing off her jumping moves on our social media last week! ❤️

Tommy was an unsocial stray when we first met him - and what a long way he's come, as the star of ! 🥰

"He loves to snuggle, run around, and play in his little cat tunnel - and pulling his toy box over, and scattering his excessive amount of toys all over the room!" says adopter Kirsty.

"He loves playing parkour off of all of my furniture and his cat tree. He is still a bit timid initially when it comes to introducing new people or new rooms of the house, but settles quickly and has adapted really well." 💙
